BaronVonZemo's Rules of Liberalism:
Liberalism Rule #1 - accuse others of that which you are/do.
Liberalism Rule #2 - the rules apply to thee and not me
Liberalism Rule #3 - We know what is best, thus the ends justify the means.
Liberalism Rule #4 - We believe ourselves to be smarter thus, we cannot admit that we are wrong.
i) Admitting mistakes undermines the premise of being smarter, ergo self correction is not possible.
Liberalism Rule #5 - What didn’t work last time, will work next time (see 4 i.)
Liberalism Rule #6 - When we lose, change the rules.
i) Whenever convenient, change the definition to suit our goal.
Liberalism Rule #7 - Appeasement is the best deterrent to foreign conflict.
Liberalism Rule #8 - Totally Differentism - when we do something that we don’t like others doing, it is always “totally different”.
Liberalism Rule #9 - Equity through inequity (any difference must be equalized by pulling down the
unaffected party. Vengeance is preferable).
Liberalism Rule #10 - We support our representative speaking regardless of the truth (in contrast to
conservatives who support the truth regardless of the representative speaking it).
Liberalism Rule #11 - We vote on personality over policy.
Liberalism Rule #12 - Genetics are selective. We believe that sexuality and guilt are genetic, but gender is not. Scientific proof is not required.
Liberalism Rule #13 - Do SOMETHING! When a crisis happens, do SOMETHING! It doesn't have to have to work, but it must: a) make us feel better which is more important than actually solving the crisis, and b) advance the liberal agenda.
Liberalism Rule #14 - "You’ll have to show us a lot more than rock solid, irrefutable evidence”.
Liberalism Rule #15 - There are no universal truths. The truth changes to fit our needs.
Liberalism Rule #16 - The Expert Threshold. If a false narrative has enough “experts” backing it, it becomes truth regardless of evidence to the contrary. “Experts” are defined as those who support the narrative, and they can be conjured if necessary (because of Liberalism Rule #3).
Liberalism Rule #17 - Charity ends at home. It is accomplished through the government with other people’s money.
Liberalism Rule #18 - When failure or bad behavior is completely undeniable, distance yourself from complicity to salve your guilty conscience.
Liberalism Rule #19 - Guns don’t kill people, liberals with guns kill people. Violence comes from the Left.
Liberalism Rule #20 - Only guilty life is precious. Innocence makes us uncomfortable and thus must be eliminated.
Liberalism Rule #21 - "I'm a moderate". We are not liberal, we are "moderates" politically - despite supporting every liberal tenant. This is because we consider ourselves to be the fairest and also because we care too deeply about what others think of us to just admit what we really are.

TtTK is on to something by limiting his exposure here..
There is no point wasting time trying to reason with irrational people. There is no point, even when disagreeing, to attempt having an intelligent "give and take discussion" with the unintelligent and disingenuous.
If Trump did it, they thinks it's bad. If their guy does the same thing, they think it's good.
The good news to remember is that they lost and they are in the radical 20% that doesn't even think for themselves anymore. Also, because they are SO predictable, redundant, and hateful, nobody even reads their posts anymore.
They spend loads of time crafting a diatribe that nobody but themselves reads. That is why I call it "TDS Vent Therapy", and I have no desire to be part of their pathology.
I engage with Tyrone and others for sport. It's fun, and occasionally I learn something from them and hope the inverse is also true.
Too many people put too much emotional energy into politics.

Is a wise man with his thoughts. I’ll have to put the usual suspects back on ignore to clean up what I see. It also keeps me out of the cross hairs.
TDS cases would lose a lot of interest.
And frankly, I consider those that do, gutless. No offense intended.

any further acts of vandalism more serious charges await him…btw, the article further notes that if he were immediately sent to prison he’d have a hard time making timely restitution…so, this is the more intelligent…and progressive…approach.
